The current master research aims the identification and the characterization of the adolescent world visions according to their social origins. It investigates the relationship between the adolescents social cultural universe and the social representation of the world. The universe of investigation of the research was composed by two elementary school classes, which range from 13 to 15 years old. One class belongs to a public school and the other to a private school. Both schools are located in Belo Horizonte. The first one is located in a poor neighborhood with the predominance of families with low income and seen by the press as a violent area with the presence of drug traffic. The second one is located in an elite area. In order to identify the adolescents world vision, the research used a questionnaire, an activity of free association and an interview to vertical as tools to collect data. In order to characterize the adolescents world visions, the relations existing among the social representation of the world with the school, the Geography teaching, the family and the several sources of information (television, radio, newspapers, magazines and internet) were identified. Different world visions were identified and characterized in the present research. They were influenced by the social contexts where the adolescents are inserted. It was perceived that during the construction of the adolescents world visions, several factors are linked in a complex way. The difference of social and cultural capital of both group of adolescents are highlighted due to the families income which provides the access to better schools, trips, books, magazines, newspapers and an environment with people who have the same social and economic level. Regarding the Geography teaching, the research identified that the knowledge is mixed with History. It was perceived that Geography explains things present in the world. When this situation is worked in the school, it makes the understanding of the facts and the geographic information in the media easy.
